a kind of animal or to mate animals
Animals with a common ancestry and characteristics which distinguish them from other groups within the same species.
Animals of common origin with characteristics that distinguish them from other groups within the same species.
A distinct sub-type of a domestic animal whose babies will look just like itself when mated with another of the same breed (i.e. it will breed true).
the ancestry of a Garou, be it wolf, human or other Garou
bred (irregular past tense): To develop new or improved kinds of animals or plants, chiefly through controlled mating and selection of offspring for desirable traits.
A strain or variety of a species of animal, among which aesthetic and psychological qualities are transmitted from one generation to another in a highly selective manner
A race or special class of domestic rabbits that reproduce distinctive characteristics of fur markings, fur texture, shape, size, and growth. A breed may be subdivided into varieties. Example: Black, Blue, and Tortoise varieties of the Dutch breed.
a group of animals with similar external characteristics that are transmitted (passed on) from generation to generation.
A group of animals having a common origin that have been bred and selected for characteristics that distinguish them from other groups in the same species.
A genetically pure line having similar conformation and able to produce offspring with the same characteristics.
An equine group bred selectively for consistent characteristics over a long period of time.
To produce (offspring); give birth or hatch.
A class of domestic rabbit which reproduces itself with distinctive characteristics, such as fur, markings, shape, and size. A breed may be divided into varieties which are generally identified by color. A breed may be subdivided into varieties. Example: Black, Blue, and Tortoise varieties of the Dutch breed.
a special lineage; "a breed of Americans"
a special variety of domesticated animals within a species; "he experimented on a particular breed of white rats"; "he created a new strain of sheep"
half-caste offspring of parents of different races (especially of white and Indian parents)
a lineage or race of people
of plants or animals; "She breeds dogs"
have young (animals); "pandas rarely breed in captivity"
a collection of animals that are related, stem from a specific origin and have various features in common
a domesticated variety of an animal
a genetic lineage in which the parents invariably produce offspring that resemble themselves, at least in discernible ways
a group of animals that can be readily distinguished from other members of the species by some identifiable common appearance, performance, ancestry, selection history, adaptation or other feature
a group of cats with common characteristics which distinguish them from other groups
a group of domestic cats (subspecies felis catus) that the governing body of CFA has agreed to recognize as such
a group of genetically related animals that reliably passes on certain characteristics or traits to their offspring
a "relatively homogeneous group
a sub-group of domestic animals whose looks and behavior have been shaped by human selection
a separate distinct group of cats, with similar physical appearance, who produce similar offspring when bred
Animals having a common origin and characteristics which distinguish them from other groups within the same species.
An equine group whose members have been selectively bred for consistent characteristics over a period of time and with pedigrees recorded in a stud book.
a group of animals related by descent from a common ancestor and visibly similar in most characteristics. A species may have many breeds.
When animals make young. Breeding season includes the time taken to attract a mate and to reproduce (make new young).
A variety of animal within a species. There are many breeds of dogs, but they all belong to the same species ( Canis familiaris).
A group of animals with similar characteristics. Maine Anjou is a good breed.
A population of a species that have distinct characteristics that differentiate them form other populations in that species. Individuals within that population that reproduce with another individual of the population will produce offspring that are recognizable as members of that population. Breeds can further be subdivided into varieties based on differences within the breed.
Noun: In AnGR, either (i) a sub-specific group of domestic livestock with definable and identifiable external characteristics that enable it to be separated by visual appraisal from other similarly defined groups within the same species or (ii) a group of domestic livestock for which geographical and/or cultural separation from phenotypically similar groups has led to acceptance of its separate identity. cf breed at risk; breed not at risk; critical breed; critical-maintained breed; endangered-maintained breed. (Source: FAO, 1999)
(n) A group of animals descending from a common ancestry and possessing certain common characteristics which distinguish it from any other group. (v) To cause to reproduce, especially by controlled mating and selection. To develop new or improved strains in animals or plants.
A race of animals within a species. Animals of the same breed usually have a common origin and similar identifying characteristics.
a grouping of horses with similar characteristics due to being selectively bred
A population of domestic animals (cattle, horses, sheep, goats) that are maintained by controlled propagation and have common ancestors and certain distinguishable characteristics.
Causing to reproduce, especially by controlled mating and selection. May also mean to mate with.
To produce more of a species. Animals have babies and plants produce seeds or spores.
Animals of like color, body shape and wool grade similar to those of parents.
A population of animals within a species, which differs from those in other populations within the same species in respect to definite genetically determined traits.
to produce offspring by giving birth or by hatching
A variety of fowl with certain characteristics which separate it from other fowls.
A group of cats with related ancestry and similar, defined physical characteristics.
Cattle of common origin and having characteristics that distinguish them from other groups within the same species.
